Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two

Sometimes Nate gets mad at me for making dessert recipes because I am usually pretty good at only eating 2 or so cookies at a time (I count my calories everyday, so I can still get my sweet fix without blowing my calories for the day) but that leaves a bunch more cookies to be eaten. And although Nate really has the body type that can eat whatever he wants, he gets mad at me for “making him” eat so many treats. By the way, this is not real anger, just fyi.

Anyway, I found this recipe on pinterest and it is seriously perfect for us. The recipe makes either two giant cookies, or 4 normal sized cookies. And they are actually really good too. Sometimes I worry with such a small amount that we are cutting out something important or putting less or more of certain things to get the right texture. But no, these cookies are great! And last night after a 5 mile run on the treadmill, I was craving some gooey chocolate chip cookies and these were great for that.

So if you ever just want a single or two person serving of chocolate chip cookies (again, its 4 cookies, but some days I could easily eat 4 on my own) this is the recipe for you. Not that you can ever really have too much cookie dough or too many chocolate chip cookies – but maybe this will help those of you watching what you eat too!

This is perfect! For so long I have made a whole batch and rolled them into balls. Then I would bake what I wanted and freeze the rest. This would work but I have no self control. I would sneak into the freezer and eat a ball of cookie dough…or two. I like only making what you are going to eat. Less tempting!

Exactly! Although like probably everyone I love a good ball of frozen cookie dough now and then, it is much less tempting for me to eat it all at once if I only make a few cookies at a time! Plus I think they are just as delicious

They taste great… but look nothing like the picture! Mine didn’t flatten out at all and kind of look like biscuits, and I had to cook them for 15 min to get them cooked. I’m wondering what I did wrong!

Did you separate the dough into 4 cookies or just 2? With my other cookies for 2 I slightly flatten the cookie before baking, but these have been my flattest of all. I know one recipe I saw suggested banging the pan against your countertop right after taking them out of the oven. Glad they still tasted good for you!
